Event Offers Free Yoga Classes Across Central Arkansas This Weekend

September is National Yoga Month and this weekend yoga teachers across Central Arkansas will be hosting special activities.

Students participate in a yoga class.

Judy Watts is an organizer for the second annual Yogathon Arkansas event. She says free workshops and yoga classes will be available for adults and children from Friday through Sunday.

“People think of yoga as a very specific physical activity or exercise; but there are lots of benefits that come from yoga,” said Watts. “Yoga can relieve stress and teach people how to breathe correctly, as well as help people sleep better and feel less fatigued.”

Little Rock Mayor Mark Stodola has announced that this Friday will be Yoga Day in Little Rock.

Judy Watts says event organizers are offering classes this weekend in Little Rock, North Little Rock, Conway, Cabot, Hot Springs, and Mena for all who are interested in participating.
